I have primarily worked with developmental and physical disabilities in all ages, but also look after toddlers and other children without disabilities. I will also assist seniors (with and without some memory conditions). I am fine with cleaning play areas and keeping up with laundry and helping with light housework. I love animals, so pets are great.

More of my background…I began working with disabilities (physical and developmental) in the early 90's in Denton TX. I have since helped out with individuals in home and in some facilities. I’ve also worked in Supported Living houses, which generally had higher-functioning people housed 2-3 per apartment or house. I have experience with managing/administering medications, ADL assistance, some brain/spinal injury, and G-tube feeding.

My current clients are three school children in need of carpooling and tutoring, and one very busy toddler, none of which have disabilities. I try to maintain a healthy balance between playtime, learning, and completing chores and tasks.
